Here's how to use Snapchat's new "Do Not Disturb" feature

Whenever an app rolls out a new feature, it’s extremely hit or miss. The new Instagram Superzoom tools? Hit. The new Instagram DM feature? Serious miss. But we think that Snapchat’s latest feature is a big win. The app recently introduced a Do Not Disturb feature, and we’re all for it. Now, you can mute individual people without actually blocking them. Because let’s be real. We all have those friends who are always on Snapchat. Thanks to the new Do Not Disturb feature, you can silence their notifications until you’re ready to catch up.

Here’s how Do Not Disturb works: If you tap and hold on a person or a group, up pops the option to mute their notifications. This way, you won’t be bombarded with ping after ping from your extra chatty friends. And most importantly, if you mute someone, they won’t know about it. (But your delayed response miiiight tip them off.)
